Sofia Vergara Covers 'Redbook' September 2011

Here’s what the 39-year-old Modern Family star (in Rachel Roy) had to share with the mag:

On the positives of being a young mother: “When I had [my son] Manolo, I was 19, and I had the energy for everything. My boyfriend [Nick Loeb] now wants to have kids, and I don’t even want to think about it. I would have to get into that mind-set again, the waking up early.”

On when she started accepting her curves: “The thing is, I’ve had these ridiculously huge boobs since I was super young. Like, 13. I was really skinny at that time, so it was weird to have those f—ing boobs and be skinny. It was hideous. Then after I had my kid, I got hips and everything started to come together.”

On meeting her childhood crushJon Bon Jovi: “When I was going to film [the upcoming movie] New Year’s Eve with [him] – I mean, in Colombia, he is the biggest thing. I grew up being in love with him. So when I saw him, I was like, ‘Oh, my God, it’s Bon Jovi!’ But when he saw me, he was like, ‘Oh my God, it’s Gloria [from Modern Family]!’ Its just insane.”
